  • It would not dig itself out?

  • @Jc71149 Noo the engine was flooded and there was wather in all the electrics :)

    Some friends that was out seeing it, the night before it got rescued saied that, the lights was blinking on it like in a disco :D

  • @ArEs7210 Question; What exactly is the crane sitting on...? Please explain the footing. I see steel plates, and I see what looks like concrete slabs for stablizer legs... but what is under 100+ tons of crane?

  • @lionking6199zj Nothing but hard swamp :)

  • Or to save taking it out in bits (my comment before seeing this video), there's always the "hire in a bloody massive crane" option.

  • @n506 Hehe yeah and that is a nice option too have :)
